A theatre troupe of animals perform three stories. The wrap-around is the animals on a theater stage introducing the stories. The first story has a stork crashing and leaving the baby with the animals. The second story has a fox stealing three eggs and raising the chicks as his own. The third story has the animals trying to save Christmas in their own ways.
The animation style is simple and there are some good fun here. It's generally a nice time. The second story is fun and the first introduction is great. I do have reservations about the premise of the theater. Essentially, the animals are actors playing roles in the stories. It keeps the animals from developing a consistent personality throughout the movie. It would be easier for them to simply be these characters. I can't name a TV show where the actors play different characters in every episode. At most, the lead character gets put into different roles in Dollhouse and Quantum Leap. The premise keeps the stories disjointed from each other.

After putting the finishing touches to their ambitious project, the Fox and his companions put on a three-part play to entertain the inhabitants of the farm. Starting with "A Baby To Deliver", an exhausted stork carrying baby Pauline crash-lands at Pig's fragrant garden. To help him deliver the precious cargo to its expectant parents, the Pig and his clumsy assistants, the Rabbit and the Duck, embark on a time-sensitive mission to finish the job. How hard can it be? Next up, in "The Big Bad Fox", the Fox takes the local Wolf's advice to steal three eggs from the Chicken and raise them into chickens. But when the cute chicks hatch and imprint on Fox, thinking he's their mother, the Fox will find himself at a crossroads. Will the Fox follow his heart? Finally, in "We Must Save Christmas", the Duck and the Rabbit join forces to save Christmas after an unfortunate incident. Can the clumsy duo help Santa deliver the longed-for presents to all the children?

French animation
Took me by surprise
Quite frankly I found this little masterpiece out of the blue, just watched the trailer and I kind of liked the jokes and the animation style overall so I decided why not... today's animation is tending to be way too realistic and we don't want that in the cartoon, a true cartoon which it totally is. This one is full of surprises - despite the fact that it is dubbed from French with the help of English voice actors, who had done their job outstandingly and their voiceover was simply superb to say the least, you do not feel the boundaries of any specific regional characteristics - it is universally a great movie, with lots of jokes, one of a kind animation, amazing score and nice although outdated and "nothing new" plotlines that still keep you on the edge of the seat and make you live through the performance along with the characters. This is a wonderful gem of a movie and I'd definitely prefer this to most of those millions of Disney lookalikes that are in theaters every month now.
Awesome
One of the best comedy animation movie i have ever watched
